When I'm feeling weary and blue, I'm only too Glad to be left alone. Dreaming of a place in the sun when day is done, far from a telephone.
Hardly ever see the sky. Buildings seem to grow so high.
Give me somewhere peaceful and grand where all the land slumbers in monotone.
I'm world weary, world weary; living in a great big town. I find it so dreary, so dreary; everything looks grey or brown. I want an ocean blue, Great big trees, A bird's eye view of the Pyrenees. I wanna watch the moon rise up And see the great red sun go down.
Watching clouds go by through a windy sky fascinates me. But if I do it in the street every cop I meet Simply hates me. Because I'm world weary, world weary; Tired of all these jumping jacks. I long to get right back to nature and relax.
I want a horse and plow, chickens too. Just one cow with a wistful moo.
I can hardly wait till I see the great open spaces. My loving friends will not be there; I'm so sick of their damn fool faces. Because I'm world weary, world weary. Tired of all these jumping jacks. I want to get right back to nature and relax.
